The Con Club

Harden's says

The former Working Men’s Conservative Club in Altrincham has been transformed into a relaxed brasserie and microbrewery, serving up meats and seafood (cooked or raw) to order, brunch, coffee and cakes. The owner, David Vanderhook, is also behind The George Charles pub in Didsbury and Lime bar at Salford Quays.

Summary

After the arrival of Salford Quays player David Vanderhook two years back, the former Altrincham Conservative Working Men’s Club is now a brasserie/microbrewery, having had a “fantastic” industrial-chic makeover. The “eclectic” Japanese/grilled meat menu can seem a little “overrated”, and even fans agree it’s secondary to the “highly enjoyable”, “loud and glamorous” atmosphere.

Summary

In autumn 2016 this former Working Men’s Conservative Club in Altrincham was transformed into a stylishly tricked-out brasserie and microbrewery, serving up charcoal grilled meats, sushi and sashimi. The owner, David Vanderhook, is also behind The George Charles pub in Didsbury and Lime bar at Salford Quays. Too limited feedback for a rating, but one early report praises “very convivial surroundings and an excellent addition to Altrincham’s dining scene”.

"As an environment its pretty good. Big, busy and with good service that spotted and handled little niggles with no prompting (the ebullient nearby table spilling themselves into all the available space politely asked to make space for us to eat). Food is well presented, tastes good. We had a lamb kebab starter - tasty and subtle. The sushi sharing platter was beautifully presented, with a mix of rolls and sashimi. Delicate and flavoursome. Yet maybe not hitting the heights I'd expected from what some people had said. Plus the sushi I'd had locally in Victors lives in my memory for surprise and delight. This was very good, and maybe suffers from the comparison?"
